Individual Veggie Quiche Cups To-Go

I don't know about you, but I get so bored with my breakfast routine. I mean, I seem to get stuck in a rut of the same-ol'-same-ol' over, and over, and over, and over ... which is further complicated by the fact that I try to eat low-carb for breakfast. Carbs and I just aren't good friends in the morning.

Well, guess what? ...

These little babies are just the perfect low-carb breakfast treat to mix up the ol' routine! And what's better - they can be made ahead and popped in the freezer ... to be taken out and reheated as you're ready for them. Oh, I'm all about that.

With a great mix of flavorful veggies and their ease-of-travel, they also frequently find their way into my lunch box. I usually whip up a double batch when I make them and have them in the freezer to grab-and-go for those mornings when I'm ...well ... running behind. Not that that ever happens or anything. {Insert sarcasm here. I'm about as faarrrrrrr away from a morning person as you can possibly get.}﻿

And these come together really easily, too.

Just chop up some fresh mushrooms, red bell pepper, and onions and mix these veggies with some spinach, eggs (or egg substitute), and shredded cheese.

What a super idea!!! I make this with cottage cheese and have taken it as appetizers for a party! In fact once I bought my friend a baking dish as a gift and baked her this as an appetizer for the party!

Oh I love this! Mornings are a total rut when it comes to food here too. Cereal, pancakes, maybe french toast. I find I have more time to cook and bake at night, so something like this would be perfect!

Thank you so much for sharing a recipe that is 1) delicious looking 2) beautifully photographed and 3) actually linked back to the blog party. You're one of the few recipe bloggers who joins my party and actually follows guidelines. :) Thank you!! You earned yourself another feature. ;)

Oh, yum! I love making mini quiches...but mine always get stuck somewhat! Why did I never think of the foil cup liners? Well, that is now remedied after reading this and this recipe will be tried as well! Xoxo

Oh I love this! I will have to try these one day. I like making little grab & go breakfasts! Thanks for sharing on Marvelous Mondays! I will be featuring this on my blog this weekend! I hope you will stop by and check out the features post! :)

I just made these! They are delicious and exactly what I was looking for. I only had fresh spinach, so I chopped up the spinach in a food processor first. There seemed like there was SO much spinach and they turned out bright green, and looked the same throughout. But they tasted SO good!

I am betting you could use silicone muffin cups as well for those who want the easy clean-up without constantly buying/tossing foil...definitely on my list of things to make ahead for easy meals when the baby arrives!

I tried these from another site and used non-stick muffin pan with oil spray...they did not stick at all, but came out very easily like little muffins. Although I think the foil liner would be more useful for on-the-go option.

I haven't tried reheating them in the oven yet, but here's what I would do ... Leave them in the foil liners, place them {with a little space between them} on a baking sheet, and warm in a 350 degree oven. I don't think they would take too long. I would probably take them out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before I popped them in the oven so they'd start coming up to room temperature. Enjoy!

I love your comments. I read and appreciate each and every one. Thank you so much for visiting The Kitchen is My Playground! {NOTE: Captcha word verification is on to turn away the 'spambots' ... I apologize for the commenting inconvenience!}
